Day Seventeen: Sunday, July 28th: Kotel, Machon HaMikdash, and Southern Wall Excavations!

Hi Everyone! It’s Sophie and Noah here.

We are here to tell you about the special jam-packed day we spent in the Old City. We started off with an amazing day experience at Machon Hamikdash, where we got to see what it was like to live in the time of the Beit Hamikdash and what it will be like in the future. We also had the privilege to visit the Kotel for a long and spiritually meaningful time. While there, our groups rotated having a virtual reality tour of the Beit Hamikdash. We then had a large selection of lunch options to choose from and had a chance to explore the Jewish quarter. We also had the opportunity to go to the Southern Wall Excavations where we got to learn more about the Beit Hamikdash. Tonight’s night activity was super fun and entertaining. Each room got to pick a song to perform in a lip sync battle. First to go up were the boys staff and Efraim Wiener led them in an amazing performance. Today was a super fun day and we can’t wait for another one tomorrow!
